Free encyclopedias

[William Frost]

As warnd last month by The End of Free (http://www.theendoffree.com/), Encyclopedia Britannica has now deleted its free service online.  "Search the Encyclopedia" still produces resiults, but the links are dead.

I have not seen it reported elsewhere, but neither is the Funk & Wagnalls Multimedia Encyclopedia available from LycosZone.  

I have deleted these titles form the Internet Collegiate Reference Collection (http://library.bloomu.edu/reference/); some of you may wish to take similar action.
